Can't say specifically, I have lots of parts links that you might want to check out but maybe someone has a direct pointer ? What country are you in ? >Also, whats the best way of cleaning leather seats? Leather cleaner. Some folks like Lexol cleaner and conditioner. I found that you had to do way too much rinsing with the cleaner. Don't follow the bottle instructions, thin it out a lot with a wet rag. I prefer "Mothers" cleaner and conditioner. I don't know if it's available where you are. >Somethings wrong with the seat on the drivers side. I'm not able to >"open" to get people into the back seat. Anyone know what to do ? If >anyone has taken of the seatcovers or know where to get info about >that please let me know. There's a cable that goes from the lever to the seat release. The cable can stretch or break. If it still seems to pull, it can be adjusted and/or washers added to give it more pull. If it's broken, it will need replacement. There's a TSB on adding the washers to "adjust" the cable. I had the dealer do mine with the TSB/washer method but it was still not really "easy" to move the cable after that. I had them put in new cables and it works very smoothly now. If you want to see the TSB yourself on the adjustment, consider a subscription to http://www.alldatadiy.com. Very useful for most repairs - but I don't think it covers the cable replacement, just the TSB. From what the dealer told me replacing the cable was a long ugly, multi hour job. Mine was under warranty, so there was no need for him to exaggerate. >Finally, how do you place your coffeecup without using glue. Is there >any saab cupholders out there ?? You use a cup that fits in the center console cup holder... but I don't know if they included that in your area. If not, something that sits on the floor with a large base or weighted base is the best option, IMO. You could also probably order the factory console cup holder from a US dealer. Bob
